yetiVery Nice! They all look very well made with excellent fit and finish. The backlock on the folders is interesting - in the middle of the spine instead of at the end.
I've got two Brownings to recommend - at far opposite ends of the spectrum:
Gentlemans knife - The Bailey Bradshaw designed folder in jigged bone. Made in Germany, it's a very nice small folder, 2 7/8" blade. BTW Bailey posts here in the gunsmith forum. This one now sits in my drawer, as it's too nice to lose.
Honking Chunk of Steel - The Crowell Barker Competition knife. A very big chopper/camp knife. Made in Taiwan, with a tapered tang and micarta grips. This one goes out with the little chain saw and gets seriously abused/used clearing hedgerows and keeping trails open.
